Abstract
We study the behavior of measures obtained as a result of the action of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup T t associated with the Gaussian measure μ on an arbitrary probability measure ν in a separable Hilbert space as t → 0+. We prove that the densities of the parts of T t ν absolutely continuous with respect to μ converge in the measure μ to the density of the part of ν absolutely continuous with respect to μ. For a finite-dimensional space, we prove the convergence of these densities μ-almost everywhere. In the infinite-dimensional case, we give sufficient conditions for almost-everywhere convergence. We also consider conditions on the absolute continuity of T t ν with respect to μ in terms of the coefficients of the expansion of T t ν in a series in Hermite polynomials (an analog of the Ito- Wiener expansion) and the connection with finite absolute continuity.
